Steve Sarkisian is the Right Choice at UW
Not that I think anybody read my posts on the subject, but I’m still glad that the University of Washington followed my advice and hired Steve Sarkisian, the offensive coordinator at Southern Cal, as their new football coach. Like I said before , UW wasn’t getting themselves a first-rate coach in their current predicament. The [...]

Wishing Ill on My Bulldogs
The Georgia Bulldogs ended their season last week with a 45-42 loss to Ga. Tech, in Athens no less. I know, it’s far too late to break the game down; fine, don’t wanna. (My bumper sticker of choice in college said “Avoid the rush, hate Tech now.” So, yeah.) I just want to take a [...]

Auburn’s Coaching Search is More Bad News for Washington
Tommy Tuberville’s decided to resign from Auburn University recently; at least, that’s what the AD says. Whether he quit or was fired, though, this is bad news for the University of Washington. After the Tennessee job was filled, UW could at least position itself as the job vacancy with the most reflected glory attached to [...]

Georgia - Florida, and Urban’s Way: Unnecessary Fussin’
This week is the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party; go spit, SEC, that’s what it’s called, and I don’t even drink. Before I get into what’s on my mind, a little refresher for those of you insensitive enough not to keep up with such heady affairs. Last year, in an effort to get the Bulldogs [...]

Ty Willingham is Leaving - Now What, UW?
As has been widely reported, Tyrone Willingham is stepping down at the end of the season. If you’ve been following UW football at all this year, this is absolutely no shock to anyone. Many folks were surprised that he kept his job after last year, and as the losses piled up the expectations grew that [...]

Just to be clear - I was as rusty as anybody at the table. It's not like I knew that it would work, I just knew that I was screwed from any sort of conventional point-of-view, so it was time to try something different. Now, having said that
You dirty dawg! This "one of the strongest players" knew exactly how sneaky you are, I just didn't realize it was your actual strategy. Ha-RUMPH.
Next time, blood will coat the streets.
Thanks for the info Ray! I just ordered one today along with an extra main motor, can't wait.
Hi Chad,
Yes, I am very pleased with my heli. The main motor gave up the ghost a few days after the above post, and I had to get another. I bought several, but so far haven't had to replace another. I fully expect to have to replace the current mo
Don't look at me, I'm no fan of tanking games. Every week should be played to their max ability in an effort to try to win. The Seahawks are not the freaking Knicks, afterall.
High draft picks are overrated anyways. You pay a lot of money, tying u
Politicians comes to mind. :D
Hm ... I had a different rationale for why this is stupid: It rewards failure. Businesses demand money from the government to rescue them from foolish and selfish financial decisions. At the same time, they scream against any kind of oversight or 
Hey John,
Nice to see GU coming along. Your 'proposal' makes a lot more sense now that I can see it in action. Very interesting set-up. I'm monitoring my traffic closely post-election. Merging The Big Stick into a larger network may make more sens
Go 'Dawgs, indeed. Richt's successes are more than admirable, and I've missed the hell out of him at the offensive helm these last eight years. Should be a great game, but I give the edge to the 'Dawgs. Even though Tim Tebow once touched a blind
